What the aircraft actually flies over
From Delhi the path crosses India, then Pakistan, then Iran.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 28.6°N, 0% of the way along.
Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.
Leaving Delhi the aircraft points west (265°); it arrives into Dubai heading west (255°). That is 10° of drift without a single turn — the compass moves because the path is a curve on a sphere, not because the aircraft does.
